A winter storm is headed straight for our area.  Snow will begin during the dark of Monday evening and continue all night.  More snow will fall on Tuesday and the wind will increase, creating blowing and drifting.  Tuesday night, more snow possible, with blowing and drifting.  The entire system should be moving out by Wednesday evening.  Remember, if you MUST travel, be very careful.

Snow showers will continue through the day on Tuesday with another 2″ expected by sunset boosting snowfall totals between 4″ – 6″. Gusty west winds will begin to blow and drift the snow Tuesday night through Wednesday making travel difficult.

Sunshine today melted some of the snow, so we will have some icy roads again tonight. A winter storm will impact the valley starting tomorrow night.

It isn’t pretty out there, at least if you’re trying to get somewhere.  Law enforcement all through the area report side roads and streets are still icy.  I-70 get nasty as you head toward Indianapolis.  It will be windy and cold today.  Be careful.

Snow and wind gusts will continue into Saturday morning. Friday night’s low is expected to be in the mid-20s. Winds out of the northeast with gusts as high as 30 mph.

Saturday Morning: Snow showers and wind gusts continue, turning into flurries by mid-morning. Temps will remain in the mid-20s. Northeast wind between 15 to 20 mph, but gusts will reach up to 30-35 mph.

The winter storm we’ve been tracking all week has arrived.  We’re getting numerous reports of crashes and slide-offs, especially on bridges and overpasses.  The snow will continue through the night, but a periodic break or two could be possible.  Wind will increase to 18 mph from the NE, with gusts to near 30 mph.  Not the best night to be out, unless you have to.
